Rear Brake Hanging Pic

[White Dog_imp]

Notice the shiny ring below the area where the pad rides on the rotor. That appears to be where the binding is.

White dog, Is it possible the axle coller is swapped from Left side to right? They are not the same on the part diagram. Just guessing, but strange things happen.

Anyway, I'd let the dealer sort it out. But here is a link to parts diagrams so you can look for yourself:

To look at the axle hardware, change assembly to Rear Wheel.

Here is my last disc, you can see the discoloring and the degree to which it warped.

Holy cow Rboe!

I gotta thank you for posting that picture as it got me motivated to pull out the tablesaw, general collector of crap in the shop. On the tablesaw, forgotten, was a Bosch Laminate Trimmer I picked up for a song and stashed. So it's like Christmas! I even have a job for it on my latest project.
Here you can see how I've bent back the CB1100 brake pedal a bit, the other shot is from the Griso (stock, it has not been modified).
Someday I'd like to put a second bend in the pedal so the foot lever is parallel to the foot peg, but so far it seems to be working just fine. For my feet (not big, but I do have a 36" inseam) it simply sticks out too far.

I/m wondering if there is a longer-shafted brake lever that would work on these cycles so that one would not be tempted to rest his foot on the brake pedal.

Maybe if you sprung for the rear sets. I'm too cheap to do that and my back is not fond of the position; but that does sound tempting. Otherwise, fab up something.

The stock pedal is really very very nice and so far, my bit of tweaking - close to butchering, but I figure it can be bent back or replaced (should buy one while I know they are available). So far, for me feet, the bend is working. Still considering new boots (Forma keep coming up as super boots to ride and walk in so they are on top of my list) too.

I waited too long to bend mine, but once you get your bike back, at the first sign of pedal dragging, bend that sucker in a bit. At best it will give you some time to consider choices before you toast another disc like I did.

You may not catch yourself doing it, but the black paint on the outer edge of the disc will start to change color. Monitor that too. The heat will toast the paint before it seriously warps the disc. I was slow to pick up on that. Hopefully my mess up will help others avoid my mistake.

His shows no signs of overheating that I can see. I looks like something other than the brake pads is dragging.

What could it be? The dealer says the "rotor was warped from the factory" and will be replaced under warranty, but that does not explain to me how a groove is in the rotor all way around and is lower than where the pad rubs.

I looked at a brand new cycle on the showroom floor earlier today and there is no shiny ring around the rotor like my pic shows on my cycle. I'm beginning to think an inferior part was used in the assembly and QC was asleep.

G'day 'Dog,

Did you check out Popgun's suggestion? The collars are different thickness left to right. In any case I take it you bought the bike new and under warranty. As Popgun rightly says it should be the dealer's problem, not yours.

Cheers mate

Whoa, that is serious heat damage! I too have a bent pedal. Differs from yours in that it is bent from the base of the pedal stem, at the attachment collar. You may note that I didn't claim to have bent it myself, and I didnt. I have never had a problem with foot on brake syndrome (unlike foot in mouth syndrome) but I had a right side low side and the pedal was bent slightly inboard. I left it that way as, unless you know, it looks standard.

Cheers
